- I thought I'd try setting something in the Screaming Vortex, rather than having the Heretics infiltrate Calixis Sector. The increased opportunities for outlandishness in teh Screaming Vortex were welcome. Overall though, I didn't like the light it shone on the Heretics. There's something darkly heroic about a band of outcasts fighting to overthrow the Imperium's brutal rule. In the Screaming Vortex, they seemed like just one more set of evil freaks amongst many.
- I tried to write the adventure as a sandbox. I worked out a set of locations and NPCs with their own agendas and then let the Heretics romp about triggering all kinds of havoc. I quite enjoyed the effect of this and I felt like it gave me a lot of options to respond to the routes that the players decided to take through the adventure. My only concern is that some of the more passive players were left a little disengaged, being dragged along in the wake of the more active players and waiting for things to happen.
- I included a lot more potential for combat in this adventure. I've generally shied away from having much fighting in my games, because it can be a bit tedious. However, I felt I should give the more violent of the Heretics their chance to shine. The result was a bit weak, although I think I've learned a lot that I can use in future adventures. In particular, even if the Heretics are able to defeat heavily armoured opponents (say a bodyguard of Brazen Myrmidons), it can take a ridiculously long and boring time to play through the fight. On the other hand, Hordes turned out to be a lot more fragile than I'd expected, although on the rare occasion that they survived the first volley of death from the Heretics, they were able to dole out a fair amount of damage in return.

I can relate on some levels with your experiences and thoughts. On some level my experience with players in Black Crusades is that combat is generally welcomed. I think for the most part, gaining infamy and corruption through devious acts is part of the fun of BC. If taking over a ship is not really interesting in your game to the players then that's their general feelings. There are probably many Space Pirates and Void Men that are willing to acquire a stolen ship although their transportation is limited. A trip to the Screaming Vortex or among the Gloaming worlds doesn't have to be cliche. It can be unique and fun for you as well as the players if they want to experience travel there.
I like to think of the Gloaming Worlds as you do. A bunch of heretics vying for dominate control over a planet and more. The rise of evil to daemonhood is the reason for the game and rethinking setting your game their may encourage plenty of role playing experiences. A planet among the teeming millions can so much become thralled by the heretics collaborative efforts of undermining or destroying a powerful enemy or governing body of enemies.
I like to think that their are many opportunities released by FFG in their supplements and core rulebooks. You have the cabals released in Disciples of the Dark Gods, Radicals Handbook, the Tome supplements, all of the game modules which can be run through or changed if you wish to suite your needs or outline terms of changes.
You could also express a story line that is long standing, Probably a campaign. In my experience, sandbox is a loose term that means that I do not have a story in mind. Sure there are reasons to have the control up to the players, but rail road type games are fluent and presented with hard evidence that a game master is prepared and ready to deliver.
I am not assuming that you are like this so please do not take offence. It's just some player need their attention grabbed and delivering a game idea that is worked on can be just as rewarding as any other type. When the players have the chance to go free, this possibly takes you out of your element and your preparations.

Probably as a consequence of this, the Heretics made a few incorrect assumptions that proved surprisingly difficult to shift. While I did take some amusement from the gap between what was really happening and what the Heretics thought was happening, I think I'll be a bit more proactive in pushing facts their way from now on.
Any of this sound familiar to anyone?

I find that being overly obvious (with twists) is the way to go as a GM.
Ha, yeah. The really annoying thing is, I'm sure I'm just the same when I'm a player. I suppose that when one spends ages obsessing over the details of an Adventure, one forgets how obscure it might all seem to someone just turning up to play it once a week.

Hadrael knew EXACTLY what was going on, he just chose to ignore half the clues and make things difficult for everyone (sniff)... Besides, there were so many tasty tasty brains to consume!
(Need to stop playing supposedly intelligent, cunning characters - it just feels more moronic when you miss everything).
Combat did initially feel a bit slow, I admit. I confess to being rather surprised/horrified after the first Myrmidon had taken 2 melta blasts to the chops and didn't even slow down (purposefully not looking at stats in the book). And If things were grim for the CSM, they were even more trying for the humans (even when they really deserved them - knives, sigh...) I'm awfully glad I'm not GMing a game where threats have to be balanced vs a mixed group of marines/renegades, that's a fine line to walk. I think with practice we'll get more used to powering through the combat turns (not that I'm advocating a slaughter-fest game, I think our resident Slaaneshi might flip her lid at that )
I'd agree regarding hordes, they were wiped out repeatedly, but those warp weapon wielding automata were a very unpleasant surprise to a character who felt smugly tough! I guess that's what an alpha legionnaire gets for coming out of the shadows for once Ambush tactics might suit them more (hordes, that is).
The mass combat rules were rather interesting, certainly speeding things up while still letting people feel involved, although it did feel like it came down to simply being a couple of dice rolls. But it was a nice balance to switch to an actual combat when we fluffed the mass combat to storm the bridge, felt more involving.
I think that after the previous game where everyone got along famously, this time the group were more determined to muck each other about in service to their respective Gods which rather took our eye off of the ball. And as more people choose their paths, I'd expect this to get worse, rather than better (so tempting...)
Rest assured, now that we appreciate the scale of the gift from the Gods, Hadrael, at least, is all primed to offer humanity freedom from the inevitable extinction that is the Empire! Those poor, deluded, tasty fools...
More games! More! you've made a rod for your own back now!
Posted 09 April 2014 - 11:13 AM
I find that the greatest hold-up to a game is when the players show up and the GM assumes they have their own personal goals.
With that situation, there are two problems;
- assuming the players have goals is great, but in order to actively work them in, the GM needs to be aware of them.
- players more often than not need to be told to have goals (yes, multiple are needed) above and beyond loot and exp.
I highly recommend sitting down with the players and discussing both their long-term and short-term goals; if they don't have any, you can give them ideas. When I first started to play, I was given a goal (because my character was initially a pre-gen), but I've since expanded upon my original goal (and if you can believe it, my original goal is to help the Imperium of Man).
This is something that I've actually actively done to help some of my fellow players whom don't often have a goal and sometimes feel like just a body at the table. I figure that if I can help them get a drive within the game, then not only do I enhance my play experience, but I enhance said players' and the GMs' as well.
As to the OP's first post:
From my groups' play experience, we roam the Screaming Vortex. but not as "just one more set of evil freaks". We've been acting as usurpers and heralds of a new power - our power, come to bring a new regime to the sector. We each have our methods and ways and ideas, and sometimes these are at odds with each other, but often we've learned to make concessions and compromises with each other, if not with the other powers within the Screaming Vortex.
So we have a group goal; to gain control of the sector. This in-turn would help us truly begin a crusade. But in order to do that, we need to break up our larger goal into smaller, more manageable ones. Like, we liberate a planet, or remove a rival, or gain allies, etc. It's that very process of turning a larger goal into smaller ones - in conjunction with the GM's input - which has kept the wheels on the campaign.
Posted 09 April 2014 - 01:05 PM
Ambush tactics might suit them more (hordes, that is).
But whenever a Horde ambushes an Alpha Legionnaire, the Horde knows it's actually the Alpha Legionnaire that's ambushing it in some way it doesn't understand. It's less confusing and upsetting to just be mown down in a hail of bolter fire.

It needs all the help it can get... But yeah, good idea. The game started out of a one off adventure, so I didn't have a long term goal for it from the get go. Given that heretics are rebels who've thrown off the shackles of the Imperium's multitudinous hierarchies, it feels like Black Crusade should be driven by the PCs' ambitions. If I was starting again, I think I'd try to get the groups' collective purpose nailed down in character creation, even if it was "Phase 1: Collect Underpants; Phase 2: ?; Phase 3: Overthrow The Imperium of Man".

News: Sen.-elect Scott Brown's daughter Ayla drops a new CD
Ayla Brown -- pop singer, former "American Idol" semifinalist and daughter of newbie Sen.-elect Scott Brown (R - Mass.) -- announced today that she's moved the release of her new EP "Circles" from April to... today. It's currently available on iTunes. Brown's label, Double Deal Brand Records, describes the 21-year-old's music as "r&b/dance-infused."
"Over the past few years it's become apparent that traditional means of releasing music is changing as more people transition to digital music buying," Brown said in a press release. "As an artist, I think releasing an EP instead of a full-length album makes more sense because it allows me to connect more frequently with fans."
Some might say releasing your latest effort three months early while your dad is still in the headlines is an equally shrewd marketing decision.

We've had 6 broody hens raise chicks this year; each mom and chicks group gets a separate pen/shelter and then as the chicks get to 4-6 weeks I let them mingle with the rest of the flock (all free-range all day). So far it has gone well--mom and chicks return at night to their small coops and all eventually end up in the big coop. With one exception. Yesterday I let a Columbian Wyandotte hen with her 2 chicks, age 4 weeks, out of their small pen late afternoon. At dusk the chicks had returned to their little coop and the hen was in the big coop. It was cold (26) last night and the chicks were cold--so I brought the hen back with them for the night. Today she is ignoring them--they are kind of huddled in a corner. Will the chicks be warm enough tonight with just each other? I've had a broody lose interest in her chicks at 4 weeks (when she started to lay) but then there were 5 chicks and the weather was warm. In contrast, I have a bantam hen who is still with her 6 chicks, (some now bigger than she is) at 9 weeks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It will be too cold. Is there some way you could run a extension cord with a ceramic fixture-Heat lamp is best. Hang it above the bedding high enough (usually 12-15") so it won't start a fire. Check how warm it gets under the light by placing a thermometer on the ground-it should be between 70-90F. The chicks will move away or to the heat as they may need. Until they are 10 to 12 week old in cold weather they probably will need night time heat-it depends on breed and their body size on how long and much heat they will need. I have Seramas and they are very tiny tropical chickens that can't survive well below +40F. Some are as small as 5 ounces fully grown. Good luck with them.

Mid day she was with the chicks--normal in all ways--tonight she left them again. I took her out of the coop and put her in with the chicks and they seem fine. Thank goodness for those warm broody bodies! |
Happy to hear all is well in the coop. That makes things easier. Hopefully they will all go to the big coop soon. |

Keep an eye on her and make sure she continues to be a good mom and attends to her chicks. If she abandons them, you'll have to make a broody box for them, complete with food, water & a heat source, free of drafts & safe. Is she a first time mom? Sometimes first time moms will lost interest in either eggs or chicks, they just need a little more time to mature themselves. :) Velvet ~:> |
- Posted by claraserena 4 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 5, 08 at 15:35
Yes, she's a first time mom. She's dealing with some status issues now that she's out and she's just over a molt (getting nice new feathers)--so she's got a lot on her plate so to speak. I check as much as I can--one or the other of the chicks will get separated from her and I will herd the chick back. I have another broody who went back to the coop 2 plus weeks ago. Her 3 chicks joined her and they all roost near each other. She still leads them during the day and they are 8 weeks. Is there a "normal" for the time a broody cares for chicks? |
- Posted by miss_kitty 6a KY (My Page) on Mon, Oct 6, 08 at 21:52
I confined my broody with the chicks, it was a small pen that I could move every few days. It worked VERY well. She lost interest in them after about six weeks, I put them in with the ducklings. Everyone did just fine, but it was August, not the least bit cold. She didn't go broody this year. I guess motherhood didn't appeal to her the second time around. I was very disappointed when she didn't go broody this year. Her chicks are nice laying hens this year. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will go broody next year. Otherwise I'm going to have to find another source of Dominques. |
- Posted by velvet_sparrow z10 So. Calif. (My Page) on Tue, Oct 7, 08 at 13:07
I'd say about 6 weeks is average for a mom to care for her chicks. After that she'll gradually lose interest in them and they in her, but sometimes it's less time, other times more time. Once the kids feather out and start to get more independent, you may find the mom getting annoyed with them being around. It can vary from hatch to hatch. Velvet ~:> |
- Posted by claraserena 4 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 7, 08 at 23:05
In the last four nights, the hen has left the chicks two and stayed with them two. When she left them I just took her from the coop and put her with the chicks and she settled in fine--maybe she just forgot. During the day she is an attentive mom. And the Bantam mom is with her 6 chicks going on 10 weeks--She had co-sat with a Buff Orphington. The Buff left the chicks 3 weeks ago. I had one Buff that had just one chick. She lost interest in the chick at 4 weeks. It was pretty sad to watch that little one try to make her way in the flock. She's just starting to lay now--still very shy and a loner. |

Hazelnut Gelato Profiteroles with Warm Kahlua Sauce
Bon Appétit | September 2004
Cascadia, Seattle, WA
photo by Mark Thomas
Makes 12 servings
You can freeze any extra unfilled cream puffs for another use.
- 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked
- 1 quart half and half
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup half and half
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 pounds bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup Kahlúa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 5 large eggs
For gelato:
Finely grind hazelnuts in processor. Bring half and half to simmer in large saucepan. Whisk sugar and egg yolks in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk hot half and half into sugar mixture; return to saucepan. Stir over medium heat until custard thickens slightly, about 3 minutes (do not let mixture boil). Strain into large bowl. Stir in hazelnuts and vanilla extract. Refrigerate custard until cold, about 4 hours. Transfer custard to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer custard to container; cover and freeze.
For kahlúa sauce:
Bring half and half, sugar, and butter to simmer in heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Stir in Kahlúa and vanilla. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool completely, cover, and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
For cream puffs:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Bring milk, butter, and salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in flour. Cook over medium heat until mixture is smooth, pulls away from sides of pan, and forms ball, constantly stirring vigorously, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat. Using electric mixer, mix dough on low speed until dough cools slightly but is still very warm. Beat in eggs 1 at a time on medium speed, blending well after each addition.
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Drop walnut-size pieces of dough onto sheets. Bake until puffed and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F; continue baking until puffs are brown and very crisp, about 10 minutes. Cool on sheets.
Cut 36 cream puffs in half horizontally. Place scoop of gelato in each cream puff. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and freeze.) Divide profiteroles among plates. Drizzle with warm sauce.

FAYETTEVILLE -- The Georgia Department of Education has announced a collaboration with Microsoft Corp. to offer the Microsoft IT Academy program statewide to provide students with real-world technology skills to help them thrive in the 21st century economy.
By working together with Microsoft, Georgia's 463 high schools will have access to classroom lab licensing, learning content, lesson plans, teacher resources, professional development and class projects annually. In addition, the 460,000 high school students in Georgia's public schools can earn industry-recognized certifications on Microsoft programs that will help them pursue careers in business, technology, engineering, science and beyond.
"We are committed to giving Georgia students the skills they need to be ready for whatever they want to do after high school, whether it be college or a career," said State School Superintendent John Barge. "We want to produce a technology-savvy workforce by ensuring access to these resources in every high school across the state."
The Microsoft IT Academy Program bridges the world of education and work. It is a comprehensive program that supports ongoing technology education for students, teachers and other education professionals spanning computer basics to high-level programming, along with information and communications technology management.
The IT Academy will be incorporated into several of the 17 career clusters under Georgia's Career Pathways initiative, which will launch in fall 2013. Under the initiative, students will choose a career pathway in high school and will take classes tailored to what they want to do after graduation.
"The IT Academy will help build a pipeline of innovators in Georgia as the program helps students gain interest in STEM subjects, science, technology, engineering and math, and spur ideas for how they can be applied in the real world," said Cameron Evans, Chief Technology Officer for U.S. Education, Microsoft. "Students will be able to graduate high school with industry credentials that are globally recognized in the business world."
The program will provide a convenient and flexible learning environment where students can get hands-on experience with the latest technology to gain a competitive edge in today's job market or the next step in their academics.
More than half of jobs today require some technology skills, and experts predict that will increase to 77 percent in the next decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The program's resources include online learning content, official Microsoft course materials and curriculum and instructor tools.
Georgia is the sixth state in the U.S. to broadly roll out the program, joining more than 13,000 Microsoft IT Academies in 160 countries across the globe.

Are Oscar crime scene photos reliable: Roux
Comment on this storyPretoria - Oscar Pistorius's lawyer Barry Roux, SC, on Friday questioned the first police officer on the scene of Reeva Steenkamp's murder on the reliability of photos taken at the crime scene in February last year.
"When can we rely on the scene photo as a true reflection, and when is it changed?" Roux asked former police colonel Giliam van Rensburg during cross-examination in Pistorius's murder trial in the High Court in Pretoria.
He was referring to a photo displayed in court showing a white cellphone on the tiled floor of Pistorius's bathroom, along with a section of grey towel and a toilet door panel.
Van Rensburg conceded that when he arrived at the house the towel covered the phone. He launched into a lengthy explanation of how the first photos taken of a crime scene were the most important and showed the scene unchanged.
More photos were then taken later as police "investigated further".
Van Rensburg has since resigned from the police to coach sport.
Pistorius claims he shot Steenkamp through the locked door of his toilet cubicle thinking she was an intruder. He bashed open the door with a cricket bat and carried her bleeding, lifeless body downstairs.
Pistorius is accused of the premeditated murder of model and law graduate Steenkamp. He is also charged with illegal possession of ammunition, and two counts of discharging a firearm in public.
He allegedly fired a shot from a Glock pistol under a table at a Johannesburg restaurant in January 2013. On September 30, 2012 he allegedly fired a shot from his 9mm pistol through the open sunroof of a car while driving with friends in Modderfontein.

"This really does turn out a good looking pie. I agree with the need for flour in the filling. I added two Tbsp on instinct, and it wasn't quite enough. I ended up "draining" the pie after it had cooled a little by pouring some of the liquid out. It was a mess to cut and serve warm, but the flavor was fantastic. The lemon juice amount was fine..."

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And after that the wall of Jerusalem was builded, and I had set up the gates thereof, and had numbered the porters, and singers, and deacons, (And after that the wall of Jerusalem was rebuilt, and I had put up its gates, or its doors, and had appointed the guards, or the doorkeepers, and the singers, and the Levites,) | 1 After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed. |
2 I commanded to Hanani, my brother, and to Hananiah, the prince of the house of Jerusalem (I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the commander of the stronghold, or the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem); for he seemed a soothfast man, and dreading God more than other men did; | 2 I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most men do. |
3 and I said to them, The gates of Jerusalem be not opened till to the heat of the sun (and I said to them, Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the heat of the sun); and, when I was yet present, the gates were closed, and locked. And I set keepers thereof (out) of the dwellers of Jerusalem, all men by their whiles, or times, and each man over against his own house. | 3 I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses." |
4 And the city was full broad and great, and little people in the midst thereof (but there were few people living there), and the houses were not yet builded. | 4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt. |
5 And God gave in mine heart, and I gathered together the principal men, and (the) magistrates, and the common people, for to number them; and I found a book of the number[ing] of them, that had gone up first from the captivity. And it was found written therein, (And God put in my heart, to gather together the leaders, and the magistrates, and the common people, to list, or to register, them; and I found a book listing those who had first returned from the captivity. And I found written in it,) | 5 So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there: |
6 These be the sons of the province, which went up from the captivity of men passing over from Babylon to Jerusalem, which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had led over into Babylon; and they that were come with Zerubbabel turned again into Jerusalem and into Judah, each man to his city; (These be the sons of the province, who came back from the captivity, yea, the list of men returning from Babylon to Jerusalem, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had led over to Babylon; they returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each man to his own city;) | 6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken captive (they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town, |

Think I got some bad advice and repitched a yeast 116 (read on the net later should have been a 118) 24hrs later I'm barely seeing any re-activity. Any comments, suggestions, help? Anything would be greatly appreciated, I dont like sweet wine and this is still way too much sugar for me, Ken Almost forgot, I left a bit of headspace in the carboy expecting more then a minor re-ferment. As long at the airlock it rasied and I'm seeing bubbles should I have enough C02 to protect the wine? Thansk again, Ken Correction it was 1.020 and the yeast was 1116
Servomyces Yeast Nutrient might work. But I don't know much about wine.

"We hosted our daughter's wedding in July, 2013. It was a destination wedding for about 200 people. We were very pleased with Big Sky resort. The accommodations were convenient and reasonable. Guest were able to book a wide variety of rooms, from studios to large condos. We choose the "Wedding Weekend Package" that included the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, reception and brunch the following morning. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We also took advantage of the spa services for the wedding party and held a golf tournament. Our guests were very pleased with the activities available in the Big Sky area. Most people made a vacation out of coming to our wedding. We highly recommend the resort and could not have been more pleased." - Jim & Patte Paquette, parents of a recent Big Sky Resort bride.
"I am happy to share my experiences with Big Sky. We still talk about how everything was absolutely perfect for the whole wedding. The planning process was easy. Staff responded in a timely manner to email or telephone questions, and I had lots of questions. The food selections were great and the staff very flexible in arranging our menu preferences for the reception, especially adding the late night s'mores! The hotel staff provided excellent service from reservations through check out for all our guests. Everyone at Big Sky maintained a "can do" attitude and services were delivered as promised. I just cannot say enough about how great the whole experience was for Marla and Chuck's wedding. It was truly everything we had dreamed of for a destination wedding in Montana." - Sue Honsky, mother of a recent Big Sky Resort bride
"Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Big Sky took care of absolutely everything. The reception space, the food, the hotel rooms, even wedding weekend activities. When the Big Day came, I knew I could just relax - Big Sky had everything running smoothly, and instead of worrying about guests or logistics I got to sit back and enjoy every minute of my wedding." - Lyndsey Owens, recent Big Sky Resort bride

Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" fought off an onslaught of newcomers to finish on top of the weekend box office again.
Lionsgate's "The Expendables" remained No. 1 for a second straight weekend with $16.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Directed by and starring Stallone, the action romp about mercenaries aiming to overthrow a dictator raised its total to $64.9 million.
Five new wide releases debuted to crowd the market, but none managed to pack in huge audiences and knock off "The Expendables."
"Given all that competition in the marketplace, I don't think there was any guarantee we would hold this strong, but we did," said David Spitz, head of distribution for Lionsgate.
Leading the newcomers was 20th Century Fox's "Twilight" spoof "Vampires Suck" with $12.2 million, raising its total to $18.6 million since it opened Wednesday. The movie mocks the blockbuster franchise with a parody about a moody schoolgirl in a love triangle with a vampire and a werewolf.
"Vampires Suck" was in a photo finish for the No. 2 spot with another holdover, Julia Roberts' drama "Eat Pray Love." The Sony film about a divorced woman traveling the world in search of fulfillment pulled in $12 million to lift its total to $47.1 million.
The Warner Bros. comedy "Lottery Ticket," featuring rapper Bow Wow as a young man besieged by neighbors after he wins a $370 million jackpot, opened in fourth place with $11.1 million.
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg's cop comedy "The Other Guys" held up well in its third weekend, with the Sony release taking in $10.1 million and boosting its total to $88.2 million.
"The Other Guys" was in a tossup for No. 5 with the Weinstein Co. horror remake "Piranha 3D," which opened with $10 million. Inspired by the low-budget 1978 "Piranha," the update is set at a lake where spring-break partiers are consumed by prehistoric man-eating fish.
Universal's sequel "Nanny McPhee Returns," with Emma Thompson back as the homely title character whipping a wartime family into shape, opened at No. 7 with $8.3 million. The first film, 2006's "Nanny McPhee," debuted in fewer theaters but managed to pull in $14.5 million over opening weekend.
Bringing up the rear among new wide releases at No. 8 was Jennifer Aniston's single-mom comedy "The Switch," which debuted with $8.1 million. The Disney release features Aniston as a woman whose drunken friend (Jason Bateman) switches her sperm specimen at a party to celebrate her artificial insemination.
Surprisingly, the overall box office was down only slightly compared with the same weekend last year, when "Inglourious Basterds" fired up the normally quiet late summer with a $38.1 million opening and "District 9" held up well with an $18.2 million second weekend.
Revenues this weekend came in at $125 million, down just 1.7 percent from the same weekend a year ago, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.
"It was the collective strength of these five newcomers, plus the holdovers," said Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com. "Inglourious Basterds" and "District 9" were "so unusually strong for August that it should have made the comparison tough for this year. But the industry threw everything they had at the wall this weekend and tried to see what would stick."
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "The Expendables," $16.5 million.
2. "Vampires Suck," $12.2 million.
3. "Eat Pray Love," $12 million.
4. "Lottery Ticket," $11.1 million.
5. "The Other Guys," $10.1 million.
6. "Piranha 3D," $10 million.
7. "Nanny McPhee Returns," $8.3 million.
8. "The Switch," $8.1 million.
9. "Inception," $7.7 million.
10. "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," $5 million.

Mainstream Large Sedans Comparison
thegraduate Posts: 9,731The 3.6L has a higher max output in its top form with DI(the CTS, STS; 300 + hp I think?) than the current Northstar (291 hp?).
Unfortunately, there is no extra capacity for the 3.6L, so they have to use other engines that are less competitive.
Ford faced a similar problem with their new, competitive, 3.5L engine. All the vehicles that would benefit from it can't necessarily get it. -
captain2 Posts: 3,971would guess that the 4.6L Northstar could be pushed well past 400 hp with nothing more than some reengineering of the valvetrains, some direct injection etc - in short some of these new technologies. Kind of the same thing that Toyota is doing with the 2GR. Turbo/supercharging always a possibility as well with some obvious internal fortification and probably at the expense of long term longevity. Don't know that we really want 400hp in any FWD sedan, however.

batista Posts: 159yep would imagine even the base 300C would have trouble keeping up with a G8 "GXP", it is projected to be closer to the SRT8 variant - Niagara Falls in the intake manifold as well. maybe 14 mpg overall downhill. Well maybe they can try the inevitable 'variable displacement' gimmick - not available on the 400hp SRT8.
The SRT8 has 425HP not 400 and not sure why you say "Niagara Falls" for the GM 6.0L V8? If its a leaker like the GM pushrod (3.1,3.4,3.8) V6's I haven't heard anything. -

In this age of gas prices rising and concern for the environment, here we are again.... and I love it! Our 300C has about all wifey and I need, but that SRT8 or that G8 sound nice! :blush: -
captain2 Posts: 3,971now that would be as simple as putting the FSE variant out of the IS350 in it, wouldn't it. One thing that won't change though, as 'un-Avalon-like' as the Touring model may be - there is really nothing that could be done to it that could turn it into a 'sports sedan' too much weight up front along with the drive wheels. As a Touring owner, it does seem to strike a better balance, but will still ultimately 'plow' and scrub off speed when pushed. Nissan has been attempting this for years, was never really successful in any Maxima or Altima before finally coming to the same conclusion in a pair of really fine RWD Infinitis.
tjc78 JerseyPosts: 5,025Exactly, if the Av can handle a bit more HP without torque steer I am all for it. I figure only offer that engine on the Touring because at least it is a little tighter. You mention the Infinitis... love the "M" just not the price.
1999 Chevy S10 / 2004 Merc Grand Marquis / 2012 Buick LaCrosse
captain2 Posts: 3,971i think torque steer is as much a design issue as it is a HP issue - had a 92 Maxima, 190 hp if I remember right, and it could be a handful. my wife's Altima at 240hp, not nearly as much, despite being a bunch quicker. My Av, of course, despite being the fastest of the bunch, no torque steer even with the tighter suspension. maybe has to do with half shaft geometries and/or electronic throttle control (like in the TL-S) don't know - but really can't imagine needing a car with more power - despite my firm conviction that the 'excess' power is one thing that makes my Avalon a safer car than it might otherwise be.
louiswei Posts: 3,717Almost every FWD cars will have torque steer, just more or less. My old 140HP Honda Accord also has torque steer. The best way to see if a car has torque steer is to:
1. Point the car straight
2. Release your hands from the steering wheel
3. Step hard (in hard I meant really step on it instantly, not gradually, like you are going to crush a can)
If there are any movement in the steering wheel then the car has torque steer. Repeat those steps in a RWD car then you'll see the difference. -
captain2 Posts: 3,971yes, louis, the law of physics do dictate that all FWD cars must exhibit some torque steer (even 140hp ones), my point really was is that it can be 'masked' to some degree by changing the half shaft angles relative to the front wheel centerlines, momentary delay/limits in the transmission of full torque to those wheels etc. RWD cars do have their own set of disadvantages as well (primarily on slick roads) but will remain the definitive choice for any vehicle that has 'sporting' pretensions -if for no other reason than the more equal weight distributions that usually come with RWD setups.
louiswei Posts: 3,717Yes, Captain, I know that there are ways to minimize the torque steer but usually those don't work as well as advertised.
When the Acura TL-S came out packing 280+ HP in a FWD setup, Acura promised through some technique that the torque steer has been limited almost to none. Due to the curiosity I went to test drive the TL-S. My first hand experience showed that the torque steer is far from almost to none but it is not as bad as one would think with a 280+ HP FWD car.
However, I don't think to drop the 2GR-FSE in the Avalon will be too difficult though, since Toyota already offers the TRD Aurion (A 330HP Camry) in Australia. The only down side is the driver will have to live with some excessive torque steer.
captain2 Posts: 3,971not a bad looking vehicle - the TL-S, FWIU, electronically limits throttle application when the electronic steering 'tells' the computer that the wheels aren't straight. A somewhat contradictory condition in what is supposed to be a 'sports sedan' IMO. The new CVT Nissans effectively limit throttle application and correspondently 'select' an appropriate gear ratio ( kind of the difference you would feel in TS starting out in 2nd as opposed to 1st with a manual trans) both of which have apparently 'eliminated' the TS. Driving a new Altima recently it is much much better than that the 03 model my wife drives, with 30 more hp. They also apparently 'lowered' the engine relative to the front wheels making for a less severe angle for the CV joints - something that is also supposed to help.
tjc78 JerseyPosts: 5,025
tjc78 JerseyPosts: 5,025I believe they try to appeal to the masses. Many people want a quiet, smooth riding car. None of their models push the enveolope in terms of handling. I am on my third Yota and can testify to that. Even though they are competitive in terms of power, the comfortable ride and conservative looks are their strong suit. It must be working. I wouldn't mind an all out sport version of the Camry or Avalon but how many would they sell? Heck, you don't even see that many Camry SEs or Avalon Touring. Neither of which are that much stiffer (and no more powerful) than the non sport models. Looks wise the Avalon touring offers nothing more than a spoiler to differentiate itself from other models. At least the Camry SE has a different grill and a body kit.

captain2 Posts: 3,971not necessarily. AWD systems that are FWD biased - the Ford Taurus/500/Volvo an example - do nothing to correct the inherent problems created by weight imbalances. 60% (or more) of the car's weight is still over the front (drive)wheels. Under 'normal' circumstances the vast majority of power (90% or even more) is thru the front wheels anyway making it effectively a FWD car in any case. The only time some portion (maybe 50%) makes it to the rear wheels is in the event of loss of traction at the front - a very rare occurrance in day-to-day driving although a real possibility in really bad road conditions where AWD would obviously help. IMPO, AWD systems implemented in this manner offer very little more than another way to waste gas and doesn't necessarily do anything to improve a car's handling - you need a relatively balanced (50-50) vehicle along with a well designed suspension for that- FWD, RWD or AWD. There are exceptions, of course, but many currently available AWD systems are largely a gimmick and a waste of money - and that, of course, is this writer's opinion.
allmet33 Posts: 3,557I never really thought of it in those terms before. I guess with the AWD performance vehicles...the weight is probably more evenly distributed.
I believe that AWD systems can be useful...if used correctly. I think that all vehicles should have a button that allows the driver to turn it off or on as the need presents itself. In all my years of driving here in the DC metro area, there hasn't been any snowfall that I haven't been able to get through with a FWD vehicle...safely. -
captain2 Posts: 3,971didn't really say that they couldn't be useful did I? More like it was of negligible value in the context of this latest turn of this thread - torque steer. But to take this a step further:
FWD drive vehicles (I think )are agreed to offer superior traction (Over RWD)on bad roads if only because that 60%+ of your Azera's wght, for example, is over the drive wheels. Given that your Azera (or my Avalon) drives just fine on most snow covered/icy roads, exactly how many times per year do you have to drive in those conditions that are too bad to handle? Well, unless you live in Northern NE, upstate NY, and/or the mountain states (in terms of population densities very liKely you don't) the number of times annually that the vast majority of us could ever need these AWD/4wd systems is certainly a number that can be counted on one hand annually ( or maybe even never).
Remember a discussion with a gentleman from NYC, he contended he had to have his AWD for that one good 10 inch snowstorm every year because he couldn't get out of his apparently partially underground parking garage. This kind of thing strikes me rather ridiculous to spend the extra money on the AWD - not to mention donating a bunch more money at thw gas pumps - why, to get out of a garage once a year!.
Auto marketing mavens seem to understand that the American car buyer doesn't seem to know that these systems have very limited real life usefulness and will buy anything that can even be construed to improve 'safety'. To those folks that do live in northern NH (Subaru is the car of choice up there for a reason) and several other locations I can think of where AWD (or even better 4wd) is really needed, I apologize - but 95% of us don't need it, rarely if ever use it and, unfortunately for us, we buy it anyway. -
bobber1 Posts: 217Agree with you Captain2. I drive in a lot of snow here in the Midwest. All I've every owned have been front wheel drive cars and I get around just fine. You can probably make a better case for AWD in the mountains or rural areas, but for the most part they're just a waste of money for most drivers.
lacade Posts: 12And here I am driving a RWD Chrysler 300 during icy Alberta winters without any problems (on the original crappy tires none the less!). Come first snow 80% of cars in the ditches will be SUVs and AWD vehicles again - same story every year. People forget that just because one can accelerate faster in those vehicles doesn't mean one can stop any sooner than the next guy.

That is why when I was shopping for my mother's Highlander it was FWD only. FWD combined with the extra ground clearance will make it go through anything we get here in Jersey.
IMO AWD is just another gimmick among car makers. Especially the FWD biased versions like on the TaurHundred.1999 Chevy S10 / 2004 Merc Grand Marquis / 2012 Buick LaCrosse
alexstore Posts: 264Sorry, FWD guys. Last winter on several occasions I borrowed my MIL Rav4 4wd. I was never stuck and easily found parking in areas, where others left them, unable to get in. In addition , unlike in many other cars RAV's 4wd is on demand and doesn't work over 25 mph so there no assumption of invincibility of driving this vehicle in bad weather.
I do agree that ground clearance is very important. I remember hitting a rock, that other cars went over without any issues. Low clearance is the price that you pay for getting a performance sedan.
My opinion of AWD is same as for VDC. If you need it once in your life time it will not hurt you much. Even though I used it(VDC) only once in my Maxima, it saved me. Cost of the option(few hundred) vs thousands in repairs and higher insurance fees. AWD should be optional for all vehicles and let the buyer decide if he needs it.

The Deadly Affair
Charles Dobbs is a British secret agent investigating the apparent suicide of Foreign Office official Samuel Fennan. Dobbs suspects that Fennan's wife, Elsa, a survivor of a Nazi Germany extermination camp, might have some clues, but other officials want Dobbs to drop the case. So Dobbs hires a retiring inspector, Mendel, to quietly make inquiries. Dobbs isn't at all sure as there are a number of anomalies that simply can't be explained away. Dobbs is also having trouble at home with his errant wife, whom he very much loves, having frequent affairs. He's also pleased to see an old friend, Dieter Frey, who he recruited after the war. With the assistance of a colleague and a retired policeman, Dobbs tries to piece together just who is the spy and who in fact assassinated Fennan.
